Lupita to J. Law: The 10 Best-Dressed Celebs at the 2014 Academy Awards

To top off her stellar awards season, Lupita Nyong’o saved the best for last, wearing a custom ice blue pleated Prada gown with belted waist and deep v neckline, accented with a precious headband. Making it even better, the color reminds her of Nairobi, adding to the excitement for the culmination of her premier season.

Although it looked light as air, Cate Blanchett claimed her breathtaking Giorgio Armani gown was quite heavy. However much it may weigh, the pale champagne dress with delicate appliqués is every bit Old Hollywood glamour perfection.

Backless, black, with sheer accents. Charlize Theron proved her status as a fashion goddess in a fitted Dior mermaid gown accented with a train and illusion straps. We bow down to her brilliance.

Only Kate Hudson could pull off a bejeweled cape. Exuding a vintage, Old Hollywood vibe in Atelier Versace, Kate brought magic to the Oscars, mixing her fitted, satin, down-to-there dress with BVLGARI jewels.

Mostly known for her understated elegance, Angelina Jolie surprised everyone by bringing a bit of shine to the red carpet in her sparkly sheer Elie Saab Haute Couture ethereal gown from the designer’s Fall 2013 collection.

Though Anne Hathaway settled on a pale pink princess number last year, she flipped the fashion coin this year to make a sublimely medieval stance in a slim black Gucci metal sheath.

Credit her new, cropped hair style or credit her unending self confidence, but Jennifer Lawrence can do no wrong. Her backwards necklace may be a re-do of last year, but her red Dior dress complete with peplum accents was delightfully classy.

Given her fashion choice for the evening, it’s clear Anna Kendrick paid attention at Fashion Week. From sitting front row at Gilles Mendel’s Fall 2014 show to wearing one of his designs for J. Mendel on the red carpet, Anna’s growing into her role as a fashion-focused actress.

Winter white, red lips, glowing skin, and elegant BVLGARI jewels—could there be a better combination? Naomi Watts brought her Australian elegance to the awards show in a custom embroidered gown by Calvin Klein Collection.

It’s hardly fair, given their impeccable genes, but Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves were the picture of couple perfection in matching outfits. While her hubby put a spin on the traditional in a white Dolce & Gabbana tux, Alves stunned in a pale pink Gabriella Cadena dress complete with an over-the-shoulder cape as an accent.

The 86th annual Academy Awards have arrived, and while many have tuned in to see who leaves with an Oscars statuette, Glam is surveying the red carpet for standout sartorial moments. From Lupita Nyong’o in Nairobi blue Prada, to the always chic Cate Blanchett in Giorgio Armani, these are the best-dressed celebrities on the biggest night in film.
